Photo Galleries

I have included a few photographic galleries on this page but you can see more of my work at www.annedarling.co.uk.

Mongolia Pictures

Life on the Mongolian Steppe

Mongolian people, their food and culture

These Mongolian pictures are the result of an eight-day journey in a mini-bus that surely lacked suspension. Endless mile upon mile
of Mongolian grassland in scorching temperatures, eating mutton mutton mutton from yet another sheep freshly killed right before my eyes, and sleeping on the floors of Mongolian gers (no toilets of course) left me with few romantic illusions about the way of life
that Mongolian people endure but no doubts about the hospitality and sweet nature of the Mongolian people.

India Pictures

The Indian rickshaw

Indian people... mostly

For someone born in Scotland, the heat of India was almost unbearable at times, even when I tried to keep in the shade
and kind of slip from tree to tree when moving around. I was ill within hours of arriving, fever and an inability to keep anything down, frightened I
would die in a tin hut which threatened to boil my brains during the day and left me at the mercy of mosquitoes by night. But even though I was ill, at least it wasn't
malaria or some evil parasite that lingers on in your bloodstream, and in spite of all my complaints, I felt curiously at home.
And yes, I would go back tomorrow at the drop of a hat!
